    Default TMO sim required for unlock?


    Hi,
    I am in Australia and am looking at importing a TMO G1. I will need to get it unlocked before i can use it obviously but the site http://www.unlock-tmobileg1.com/procedures/activate.php says you need to insert your TMO Sim to find out the IME number.

    Is there any way to find out the IME without a TMO SIM?

    thx
    Scott

    If I'm not mistaken, the IEMI# is also on the box the phone comes in.
